He pretended to examine a dusty music box, keeping one eye on the shopkeeper. He had to be calm. He had to be smart. He was certain he'd find it and he wouldn't let his emotions lead him astray.

The sapphire ring was his grandmother’s. He wouldn’t let it be lost forever. He was ready for anything.
